I totally know where you're coming from.
You are a smart dude and can read the writing on the wall.

Buy your dream bike now. Spend whatever is necessary. Cash, credit... Beg, borrow, steal.
Don't worry about the wife... It's always better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
In twenty years, she'll hardly ever think about how you blew your mortgage down payment
